Referred pain is pretty common, as far as I know.
Muscle injury leads to inflamation, which puts pressure on nerve fibres, which makes them sent funky signals.
I mean - all pain is nerve pain, I guess, as they're the things sending the signals.
A decent physio would, I hope, be looking at causal factors and making a treatment plan (while keeping you informed of the whys and wherefores).
I have one or two spinus erectus muscles that like to go completely spastic occasionally*, resulting in a postural kink that irritates my lower back, sending referred pain all down my right glute and hamstring.
* exacerbated by infrequent breaks from using a mouse.

After a physio trip, it seems like the pain on the side of my calf is actually most likely some sort of nerve pain. Has anyone had something like this?
